ALL ACTIVITIES AT THE CHILDREN'S FARM!

One of Richmond's favorite Easter events will undergo some exciting transformations this year! From a 100 Acre/100 Egg Hunt to the bunny hop, visitors will delight in old and new Easter traditions on the Children's Farm Lawn.

100 ACRE/100 EGG HUNT
Hunt for eggs throughout the entire Maymont grounds! 100 prize-filled eggs will be carefully hidden within the 100-acre property. Families will have to work together to find these treasures. Prizes can be redeemed at the Children's Farm Lawn during the event from 11am to 3pm. Prizes will vary and may include items such as tickets to local sporting events and gift certificates from local retailers. Participation is free! THERE IS A LIMIT OF ONE EGG PER FAMILY.

Please note: There will NOT be any timed/ticketed egg hunts or a Golden Egg Hunt this year.
